Subject: [PATCH] completion: complete "git diff ...branc<TAB>"
Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 13:43:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7vlj1677gz.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> (raw)

While doing a final sanity check before merging a topic Bsomething, it is
a good idea to review what damage Bsomething branch would make, by running:

    $ git diff ...Bsomething

I however find myself often typing "git diff ...B<TAB>", seeing nothing
happening and then repeatedly hitting <TAB>, saying "huh? <TAAAAAAAAB>!".

This change would hopefully help me, and others like me.

Even though there is no point in supporting "git diff A..B" (you can say
"git diff A B" just fine), but reusing complete-revlist was the easiest
and that form is supported as a benign but not so useful side effect.
